Hummus. OMG, loving it.



Recommended Posts

I can't believe how much my taste buds have changed since surgery. It wasn't all at once, but they are still changing. I discovered Hummus and love it sooooo much. I eat Hummus and 2 Melba toast for a meal and feel like I have had such a treat. So funny to me how different I feel about food. I call my pouch " peanut", pretty weird I know. I consider Peanut a different entity now. I think of feeding Peanut to supply my body with fuel. I no longer had the same relationship with food. I no longer consider food as 1. my friend 2. my comforter 3. my anti-anxiety drug 4. my social drug.......the list can go on and on. My head is no longer looking down, it's looking up. I'm wonder what can I do now to be more active, and to live.

Just sharing some of my thoughts this morning. Love you guys for such support and encouragement.

That is wonderful. I'm so happy to hear the positive. I'm having surgery tomorrow and maybe I'll have to name my new stomach too. That's a wonderful idea.

Thanks for the inspiration.

The name of my new stomach is "Dolores". I had my sleeve done in Lima, Peru and so dolores means "pains" haha. I was on medication when I named it, but at the time it really fit! haha

I like hummus too. It's pretty calorie dense and light in Protein, so I only have it as a treat food. Like many others, I think of my sleeve as Sleevie Wonder. It's done wonders for me and I'm still very happy two years out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
